Résumé/CV: http://zedernkind.com/latoya-brown/ http://zedernkind.com/latoya-brown/ Email: latoya.brown.pa21@zedernkind.com +++++ SEARCH ENGINE EXPERT / SOFTWARE ENGINEER +++++ I'm an expert on search engines. This includes -> Having worked for one of the smaller web search engine companies (Bing syndication partner) for 2 years. -> JUJU.COM: A job search engine running their own crawlers, index, frontend, and API-based data syndication, where I worked for 2 years. -> TRAKTORO.NET: A search engine for used land machines. I ran a team of 5 developers and, over the course of 2 months, stood up this service from zero with no outside supervision where technology was concerned (only a business-need from a newly formed startup) -> ELASTICSEARCH, SOLR, LUCENE work: This has included the use of elasticsearch for the implementation of search functionality across in-app data in an emergency operations center software suite (think: 911 dispatch). This was the market-leading software of this kind in Germany & the Netherlands. -> Focused on NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING and INFORMATION RETRIEVAL in my studies at the UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
